Maybe Robert would like a "vacation" in Tennessee

JMike called and asked if I would help him build a frame for some speakers he wants to put in his pickup. We cut out the holes and it needed some cleanup so I took the wood over to the Oscillating Spindle Sander and got it done. I have been working wood for 50 years and using that sander for over 20 years but not much in the last two years. I was ready to turn the sander off and reached down to do so but lost control of the piece over the spindle. The wood was spinning fast enough that I thought it broke my finger when it hit but it's fine now. This is another reminder to @Senile_Texas_Aggie that we all do things.

Accidents happen. I'm sure you have received lots of safety training over your career. all it takes is one little slip up. I'm glad that you weren't hurt.

Ouch! I'm sure that pain will remind you not to do that again for awhile. Really glad it wasn't worse!

Mr. Mike CHS,

Thanks for making me feel like I am not the only one to do questionable stuff. I'm glad you didn't seriously hurt yourself.

It's a beautiful day with temps in the low 60's and blue sky all around. We went into Lewisburg to have lunch at our farm store since they were having their annual customer appreciation cook out. Bill said they had smoked 24 pork shoulders and they usually have very few leftovers every year. The owner said this annual thing started out as some wedges of cheese and some fruit on Christmas Eve to what it is now. It was standing room only while we were there and they usually run out of food around one in the afternoon.

Sounds like they appreciate their customers and vice versa.

Teresa fly's out of the Nashville airport at 6:30 tomorrow morning enroute to the daughters home in Reno, Nevada. It's going to be a crowded home for the several days everyone is going to be there. All three of the siblings plus the two grandsons and SIL's parents and sister are also going to be there from northern California.

Bet they are going to have a blast!!

Hope she has a great time with all the family. Safe travels for her. One advantage to Christmas being in the middle of the week this year is that people are taking advantage of different travel day schedules. Next year Christmas is on Friday.... due to Leap year.... and everyone will be traveling on Wed and Thursday and then back on Sunday.
